Is it possible when making a Bookmark in InDesign to specify a view? Or, because of interactivity lockout, is it impossible to do this? Asking for a friend with about 70 views to specify …

No, not the way you can in Acrobat.

Scott,
What do you exactly mean? [more explanations please!]

I'm building a comprehensive organizational chart for a large department - 70 individual org charts, thousands of individual names.
I'm trying to make one layout work for a wall chart, and as a searchable online document - structured for a monitor, and also structured for viewing on a phone.
My visual chunks are lettersized, usually landscape, and covered with names 12 point type. These are auto-generated PDFs from an old pre-Imperial system created by some rude outworld folk who only speak one language, and many of the strings were broken when the PDFs were auto-generated.
I'd like to be able to zoom from full page view (easy) to a cascade of custom views (hard manual in Acrobat) where you can see the department/division/branch/office/unit/person. I've been semi-successful with this
What I need is a New Workflow - my brain is deep underground in print & PDF concepts. I need a repeatable, describable workflow since the lettersized org charts change randomly & need to be updated.
Liberation is my only hope.
Going out to service vaporators now - will check back in two cycles.

Hi Scott,
it could be done by scripting in InDesign.
At least when adding a new bookmark by script.
The question:
What is your desired output where the bookmarks should work?
( I'm not sure even if you tagged your question with "Publish online". )

I've been semi-successful with this by manually setting the views in Acrobat - and will have to do so again the next time there's a change.
What I need is a New Workflow - my brain is deep in the ice of print & PDF concepts. I need a repeatable, describable workflow since the lettersized org charts change randomly & need to be updated often.
Anny comments appreciated - thanks.
